Iak antigen and interleukin-1 secretion by lymphocytes and monocytes of mice fed a lipid-rich diet

Abstract

Female mice were maintained on a lipid-rich diet. After 33 days, the mice showed a decrease in the cell population bearing MHC class II molecules, and in the production of interleukin-1 (IL-1). After 60 days, we reported a further decrease of the cell population with MHC class II molecules and the secretion IL-1.
